StudentUniverse Reviews Summary

StudentUniverse generally enjoys a positive reputation for providing affordable travel options, particularly for students and young travelers. Customers frequently commend the competitive pricing and ease of booking, often highlighting significant savings on flights. However, the company faces notable criticism regarding its customer service, particularly during high-demand promotions, where long wait times and difficulties in reaching support representatives are common concerns. Issues with confirmation and communication further detract from the overall experience. While customers appreciate the value offered, enhancing customer service responsiveness could significantly improve satisfaction levels.

Not great
May 17, 2024

My credit card had to be verified by email it doesn't look professional to have to verify by sending a picture of your passport and credit card, I really thought it's a scam.

Not user friendly at all when you get to the final steps. Too many things to add to the cart, not an easy purchase.

Hi Sabah, sorry you felt that way. We provide a set of add-ons for all customers based on their needs. However, they are completely optional and can be easily skipped. We always want our customers to have more options rather than none. Thanks for choosing StudentUniverse.

Great Prices and Reliable
May 16, 2024

This is an absolutely fantastic way for students to get lower price tickets. The entire process was quick and easy, I ordered my ticket last week and I already have my ticket and my airlines app. It is absolutely fantastic, and the deals that they have with prime student make it even better.

Initially booking was great and I did get a better price. However, when I wanted to change my return flight by a day, it would have been a $2,000 difference - this is about as much as the round trip flight to Athens. When I called United Airlines to try to change it with them - they could do it for almost no charge, but since I had booked with Student Universe, they did not have the power to make that change.
